Crafty v19.17 SE SSDF

As the name suggests, this the Crafty version sent to the SSDF for testing under
Arena in native Winboard format using Crafty native books book learning and
position learning.

Improved the analysis feature that will you permit to analyze full strength even
though you may using a weakened version of Crafty.  My own testing under Arena
revealed that this improved analysis function works best after playing a game is
to save the game, load the game, restart crafty engine (there is no need to
adjust crafty.rc file if you are using commands like sd=3 or random search
command like “rsd 2 6 4 8” ,  crafty will analyze at full strength here.)
Previously, you would have to modify the crafty.rc file and then restart crafty
to analyze at full strength.

I also fix “book creation” that did not work under previous Crafty SE versions
and the “krafty nimzovich” personality now works properly as well.

There are also several other minor bug fixes that should help you enjoy this
Crafty SE better.

I would consider the two previous Crafty SE 19.17 and 19.15 SE versions as
defective and not use them at all.

Best,

Michael
